Did Hannity jump the shark promoting Cliven Bundy?

[yellowcanine]

Fox has been ominously silent on Hannity's blatant coddling of scofflaw Bundy which ended so badly when Bundy turned out to have some really ugly views about African Americans. So one wonders, is Hannity now on thin ice with Fox?

1. Hannity's shark is a distant speck in his rear-view mirror.

That jump was made a long time ago. But promoting a knuckle-dragging racist won't hurt him with Fox unless their knuckle-dragging racist audience starts to complain.

2. +1000

8. Pretty much so (nt)

14. Hannity certainly 'jumped the shark' but to continue with metaphor...

There are bigger fish to fry in this whole thing. The biggest issue in this whole Cliven Bundy thing is the 'militia' that came to his rescue to face off the 'guv'mint revenoo-ers.'

While I can understand why the government chose to back off at that point because they didn't want another Ruby Ridge, this is a very alarming precedent.

I cannot believe our government will let this lie, and they should not. This government is supposed to be one 'of, by and for' the people, and it is our government. If we allow people who have misidentified the 'enemy' as the government to flagrantly disobey its laws and policies, then we encourage anarchy.

Yes, I know our government is imperfect and seems to serve the rich few rather than the general population, but only someone very foolish would want to replace the order and predictability the government provides with anarchy.

16. Very well said, PatrickforO!

And welcome to DU!

3. Hannity is an idiot

Getting into a fight with Jon Stewart was a really stupid thing to do

4. Didn't they move his show to some less desirable time slot a few months back?

Seems like he was already on their shit list, so now that he has embarrassed them again they'll probably make him one of the hosts on the weekend fox & friends show.

5. I think he got bumped to 10 p.m. by Megyn "Santa's white dag-nab-it" Kelly

Not much change in the IQ factor but I guess Megyn gives FOX's male audience something to fantasize about before turning in for the night.

13. yeah, but you have to admit she's easy on the eyes.

6. As opposed to the first 1,000 times

this moron and every other conservative profiteer has gotten out in front in making some scumbag its cause celeb only to have some other scumbagness come to light?

7. When I can't sleep, I just start counting the sharks Hannity has jumped

n/t

9. His viewers are too ignorant to realize it

Same goes for FOX as a whole, they jump the shark with their falsehoods on a daily basis and it has little effect on the idiots who tune in.

10. Their audience isn't even the demographic that took offense.

Fox is just going through the motions to save face for going off script with the racist dog whistles. A lot of Fox viewers are probably mad at Hannity for throwing him under the bus.

11. Breaking: Sean Hannity slated to pick up coveted 3 am time slot on FOX News.

Fox News today refused to confirm circulating rumors that pro-posse comitatus newscaster Sean Hannity is slated to start his new program "Hot Drones and Cold Comfort" in the much coveted 3:00 am time slot next week. Sources close to Mr. Hannity report he is elated with his new time slot and his soon to be announced sponsorship deal with Reynolds Aluminum Foil.

12. fox is failing, so Hannity is probably on their lay off list.

No American is going to forget that raciest mouth anytime soon.

fox is the star in the new Cliven Bundy song.

15. He is starting to flounder

[malthaussen]

17. Hannity jumped the shark when he was born.

And the poor fish has never been the same since.

18. No. Hannity's old friend Hal Turner would say that Sean jumped a long time back.

19. Sharks are offended by this post. Sharks were seen looking

at Hannity on a fishing trip and saying "you need a bigger boat---to carry that a-hole."

[madinmaryland]

20. Hannity had jumped the shark about the time he was able to speak. Fuck him.
